Your Home's Wind-Resistant Features Could Save You Money.
A Florida Wind Mitigation inspection documents specific construction features that may qualify your home for homeowners insurance discounts. Pro #1 Inspections provides a professional evaluation and report for your insurance company to review.
Insurance Documentation, Not a Hurricane Guarantee.
Wind Mitigation inspections focus on building features intended to help a home resist wind damage. Our inspector documents qualifying characteristics that can be verified through accessible observations and acceptable supporting records.
Insurance companies use the resulting report to evaluate eligibility for wind mitigation credits. The carrier determines whether discounts apply and how much they may be worth.
Included With Buyer's Home Inspections
When you schedule a buyer's home inspection with Pro #1 Inspections, your Wind Mitigation inspection and report are included at no additional charge.
What We Document
Florida's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form addresses several important roof and opening characteristics. Credits depend on the insurer's rules and the documentation available.
Building Code Information
Applicable building-code-related information, using available records and the criteria on the current inspection form.
Roof Covering
Roof covering type and qualifying installation or permit information where documentation is available.
Roof Deck Attachment
Accessible roof deck fastening characteristics, such as nail type, size, and spacing, where observable.
Roof-to-Wall Attachment
Visible connection methods, including clips, straps, or other qualifying attachments in accessible areas.
Roof Geometry
Roof shape classification based on the form's criteria, including whether the roof qualifies as hip geometry.
Secondary Water Resistance
Qualifying secondary water resistance features, when verifiable by accessible observation or acceptable documentation.
Windows, Doors & Openings
Qualifying impact-rated glazing, shutters, and other opening protection, subject to verification and form requirements.
What Should You Have Ready?
We can inspect accessible features and review relevant supporting documentation. Some hidden characteristics cannot be confirmed visually, so permit records, product approvals, installation documents, or photographs may help substantiate qualifying features.
Documentation is reviewed for applicability and sufficiency; having paperwork does not guarantee a particular form selection or discount.

Wind Mitigation FAQs
Does a Wind Mitigation inspection guarantee lower insurance premiums?
No. It documents eligible features for carrier review. Any discount and its amount are determined by the insurance company.
Is this the same as a 4-Point inspection?
No. A 4-Point inspection reports on roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Wind Mitigation focuses on specific wind-resistant construction features.
Do impact windows automatically qualify?
Not automatically. Protection must meet the form's criteria, and documentation and coverage of applicable openings can affect classification.
Can an older home qualify for discounts?
Possibly. Eligibility depends on verifiable construction features, improvements, and the insurer's rules—not simply the home's age.
